- Convenient, Award-winning Fire Extinguishing Device Now Available throughout Canada. -

In as little as 30 seconds, a small flame can become a major fire that puts your home and family at risk. To help put household fires out fast, First Alert, the most trusted brand in home safety, now offers the First Alert Fire Spray throughout Canada. Featuring a lightweight, simple spray can design, First Alert Fire Spray was developed for consumers wanting a product that is easier to handle than traditional fire extinguishers during an emergency.

More than seventy per cent of fire extinguisher owners say that they would not feel very comfortable actually operating one. The unique design of First Alert Fire Spray is as easy to use as other familiar household products and covers a wider surface area – up to three times greater than a typical actuator. First Alert Fire Spray contains a powerful, proven liquid firefighting agent that is effective on common household fires including paper, fabric, wood, cooking oil and electrical fires. Designed specifically for developing fires, the point-and-spray technology provides users with more control. Plus, there are no pins to pull or levers to squeeze.

"Providing homeowners with a user-friendly, affordable solution, the First Alert Fire Spray is intended for consumers who find traditional fire extinguishers intimidating to use," says Tarsila Wey, director of marketing at First Alert. "A fire will spread fast, so it's important that consumers feel confident operating their extinguishing device and can respond quickly."

Designed for one-time use, the product's patented discharge technology features an internal pouch that isolates the contents from the pressure. When the spray nozzle is pressed, only the contents are released and the propellant stays inside the can so that the fire is not agitated. In addition, performance tests demonstrate that the discharge time for First Alert Fire Spray is up to four times greater than that of standard household fire extinguishers – giving users more time to fight the fire.

Just under 24 centimeters tall and weighing only 640 grams, First Alert Fire Spray allows users easier maneuverability than bulkier traditional fire extinguishers. The compact, lightweight design also makes it easy to store in cabinets or drawers, or on shelves and countertops. Its user-friendliness and convenient storage make the First Alert Fire Spray a valuable addition to any comprehensive home safety plan.

"The First Alert Fire Spray is great for any room of the house, as well as outside near a grill or tool shed, and its portability makes it a smart safety item to pack when camping," says Wey. "At minimum, home safety experts recommend having at least one fire extinguishing device conveniently located in the kitchen, as well as on every level of the home and in the garage."

The firefighting agent in Fire Alert Fire Spray is non-toxic and easy to clean up. Once the fire is out and the area has cooled down, simply wipe the surface area clean with a damp cloth.

First Alert Fire Spray is available at several retail locations nationwide, including Canadian Tire. For a video of the First Alert Fire Spray in action, check out the First Alert YouTube channel.
